Last Week: 9-6  /  Best Bets: 2-1  /  Monday Night:  1-0

Overall: 89-95-4  /  Best Bets: 18-19-1  /  Monday Night: 9-5

Kansas City @ St Louis -1

Cassell either won’t play or will be handing off a lot.  Either way, the Rams should be able to focus on shutting down Jones and Charles.

Houston +1 @ Tennessee

This is simply a battle for pride.  The Texans have too much firepower in the air and a great running game.  Much like their game with Indianapolis, the Titans will come up a bit short.

Jacksonville +5 @ Indianapolis

Not sure what the Colts have done this year to be this much of a favorite against anybody.  Certainly not the division leading Jaguars who have already beaten them.

Arizona @ Carolina -2.5

Worst game of the year?  Maybe.  The Cardinals put up 40 last week.  With John Skelton as their QB, they’re due for single digits.  Even Clausen can put up 13 at home.

Buffalo +5.5 @ Miami

Sad for the Jets that I think this game will be closer than Jets/Dolphins last week.  Unlike Sanchez, Fitzpatrick isn’t afraid and has the green light to toss the ball around.

Philadelphia +3 @ New York Giants

Not sure how you can pick against Philly getting points against anybody right now.  Especially after the Giants are coming off a nightmare travel weekend resulting in one less day to prepare.  Steve Smith is out and Mario Manningham is gimpy as well.

Washington @ Dallas -7

Hello Rex Grossman!  The Cowboys obviously have figured out what ruined their season early on.  They have no playoff birth to play for, but this is their last home game of the year and they will go all out to rout the inept Redskins.

Detroit @ Tampa Bay -5.5

Tempting to take the Lions considering they just beat Green Bay and that the Bucs are losing players left and right.  But the Lions still only put up seven points in that win last week and the Bucs are still fighting hard for a playoff spot and have their home field as a crutch.

New Orleans +1.5 @ Baltimore

It may not end up working out because Baltimore is an elite team, but after watching what Matt Schaub did to them you gotta take Drew Brees and the points here.

Atlanta @ Seattle +6

The Seahawks have a serious home field advantage and they can put people away there.  The Falcons are so overdue for a clunker that they’re starting to accrue interest charges.

New York Jets @ Pittsburgh -5.5

No Polamalu?  No problem.  Sanchez has been exposed after proving he couldn’t score against mediocre New England and Miami defenses.  The Steelers scheme alone will be enough to shut him down.   Even if they come with their A Game, the Jets won’t be able to keep up within a touchdown of Roethlisberger’s offense.

Denver +7 @ Oakland

The Broncos fired their coach, not their entire offense.  The players that were lighting up the scoreboard early in the season are still there.  Why not come back against the Raiders?  They’re still the Raiders.

Green Bay @ New England -11

Matt Flynn?  Lights.  Out.  The only chance Green Bay has to cover this number is if they pick off Brady four or five times and that’s not happening the way he’s playing.

Chicago “@” Minnesota

No spread published for this game due to questions about the location and QB situation for Minnesota.  When they do come out with one, take Chicago.  No matter what it is.

Best Bets:  Philadelphia, Dallas, Pittsburgh, New England
